Ideas for heavy duty cages
I am looking for heavy duty cages with four legs to use in my Earth Tainers. While browsing online, I noticed the Texas Cages which are 1/4" thick and galvanized but the price is higher than what I expected. Their sale price starts at 6 for $79.95 plus shipping @$28.50 and a $4.20 fuel charge which runs the price to $18.11 per 4-foot high cage. 6-foot cages run $22.11 per cage with a purchase of 6 cages. The cages fold up and you can add extensions. This may be a fair price but I am looking for options.
I could also use suggestions for the height of cages that I may need. The tomatoes that I am going to grow are: Aunt Ruby's German Green, Bloody Butcher, Caspian Pink, Dr. Carolyn, Dr. Carolyn Pink, Earl's Faux, Eva Purple Ball, J.D.'s Special C-Tex, KBX, Marianna's Peace, Pruden's Purple, Purple Haze, SunGold, SunSugar, Yellow Submarine, and Yoder's German Yellow. I am new to growing heirloom tomatoes so I do not have any history with them to fall back on for information. Dennis |
